Now is the time for companies to deliver on those pledges, but what we\u2019ve seen time and again is that many, if not most, don\u2019t even know where to start.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the time for real change \u2013 if not simply because it\u2019s the right thing to do, then because people are demanding it. Global and multinational companies have made statements and committed funds, but their efforts ring hollow in the ears of stakeholders who have become disillusioned by posturing without progress.<\/p>\n<p>In too many companies, social impact and corporate social responsibility reporting are considered public relations issues. Annual statements are made, but words aren\u2019t enough from corporations that touch every facet of our lives \u2013 their reach is too immense not to play a meaningful role. True progress on social issues requires corporate action, and with that action, monitoring and reporting on impact.<\/p>\n<p>What many organisations fail to realise is that while operating within a broader ecosystem may complicate their ESG goals, it\u2019s also the key to their success.<\/p>\n<p>Can an organisation consider themselves truly net zero when one of their suppliers isn\u2019t? For many companies, the underlying issue is with ensuring that partners within that value chain are meeting overarching goals. \u201cScope three emissions\u201d is the latest buzz-term \u2013 those emissions that are out of an organisation\u2019s control but may in fact still affect overall goals towards net zero or reductions in greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n<p>Palladium thought leader Dr. Robert S Kaplan proposed a new system for tracking and reporting emissions across an entire supply chain in his 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/thepalladiumgroup.com\/news\/HBR-Article-Proposes-New-System-for-Tracking-and-Reporting-Emissions-Across-Entire-Supply-Chain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harvard Business Review article, \u201cAccounting for Climate Change\u201d<\/a>. It\u2019s these emissions that represent not just the struggles many organisations are facing, but their opportunities to improve. Supply chains can make or break an organisation, and when each facet of the chain is in alignment, it\u2019s not only good for business but can have positive ripple effects within the communities in which the organisation works and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>While an important factor, this goes well beyond environmental work. From building local capacities, to improving technology and capital access, and implementing diversity requirements throughout a value chain, our experience has taught us that a truly sustainable business is one that encompasses inclusive growth strategies to build up resilience and capacity every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution and working across an entire supply chain requires significant transformation. It means asking a lot from organisations, suppliers, and value chain actors alike \u2013 but it\u2019s possible, and there\u2019s no more worthy a cause for either people or profits.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;light_one&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#ed7004&#8243; transform_rotate=&#8221;0deg|0deg|90deg&#8221; positioning=&#8221;absolute&#8221; position_origin_a=&#8221;center_right&#8221; horizontal_offset=&#8221;-186px&#8221; width=&#8221;558px&#8221; height=&#8221;65px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;case-study&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#11120d&#8221; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1px||0px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; module_id=&#8221;text-font&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3px||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; module_id=&#8221;case-text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;190px||120px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<div class='white' style='background:rgba(0,0,0,0); border:solid 0px rgba(0,0,0,0); border-radius:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;'>\n<div id='slider_5902' class='owl-carousel sa_owl_theme owl-pagination-true autohide-arrows' data-slider-id='slider_5902' style='visibility:hidden;'>\n<div id='slider_5902_slide01' class='sa_hover_container' style='padding:5% 5%; margin:0px 0%; '><div class=\"restart_txt\">\r\n<div class=\"restart_lft\">\r\n<h3>A MINING COMPANY\u2019S COMMITMENT TO REFORESTATION<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"dvdr\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Brazil<span class=\"empty\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><strong>Client<\/strong>: Fundo Vale<\/p>\r\n<p>One of the largest mining companies in the world, Vale announced a commitment to reforest and protect 500,000 hectares of land in Brazil by 2030. Working with Vale\u2019s foundation, Fundo Vale, Palladium is overseeing the project's 100,000 hectares of reforestation, taking an innovative approach that brings together productive forest recovery and social impact. Acting as an impact investor in companies that creatively use and restore degraded land, Fundo Vale has invested in five agroforestry start-ups across Brazil to achieve the restoration goal.<\/p>\r\n<p>Each company brings a different approach to the table. Whether through commercial forestry, raising dairy cattle sustainably alongside native palm trees, working with smallholder farmers, or partnering with one property owner, they all are commercially viable businesses that are reforesting the areas in which they work. In 2021, the team set and met the aggressive goal of reforesting 5,000 hectares of land, proving that the innovative approach is working.<\/p>  \r\n<p>In addition to reaching the target, the Vale 2030 Forestry Commitment is a platform for promoting new businesses and seeks to induce the development of an ecosystem of positive social and environmental impact businesses linked to forest recovery in Brazil.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"restart_rt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6663\" src=\"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Palladium-vale.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Palladium-vale.jpg 601w, https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Palladium-vale-480x531.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 601px, 100vw\" \/><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p><style>\r\n.restart_txt h3{\r\n    font-family: 'helivatica',Helvetica,Arial,Lucida,sans-serif;font-size: 26px;color: #ffffff !important;letter-spacing: 2px;line-height: 1.2em;font-size: 22px;margin-bottom: 10px;margin-top: 45px;}\r\n.dvdr{height:1px;width:90%;background-color: #cc0935;margin: 24px 0 35px 0;}\r\n.restart_txt p{\r\n    font-family: 'helivatica',Helvetica,Arial,Lucida,sans-serif;font-weight: 300;line-height: 26px;padding-bottom: 0;letter-spacing: 1px;font-size: 16px;color:#fff;margin: 0 0 14px 0;}\r\n.restart_lft{\r\nwidth:70%;\r\nfloat:left;\r\n}\r\n.restart_rt{\r\nwidth:27%;\r\nfloat:right;\r\n}\r\n.restart_rt img{\r\nwidth: 100% !important;\r\nmin-height: 385px;\r\nmargin: 27px 0 0 0;\r\n}\r\n\r\n<\/style><\/p><\/div>\n<div id='slider_5902_slide02' class='sa_hover_container' style='padding:5% 5%; margin:0px 0%; '><div class=\"restart_txt\">\r\n<div class=\"restart_lft\">\r\n<h3>ASSESSING SUSTAINABLE COCOA SOURCING OPPORTUNITIES<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"dvdr\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Global<span class=\"empty\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><strong>Client<\/strong>: Confidential<\/p>\r\n<p>Palladium is working with one of the leading chocolate and confectionary companies in the world to diversify their cocoa sourcing origins by designing and implementing new sustainable sourcing models at scale.

From there, we identified 25 sourcing opportunities across those countries and worked with the company to rank them based on criteria such as readiness, time to results, positive impact potential, size, and complexity.
